11. The rise and fall of the iron-strong nuclear transient PS16dtmTanja Petrushevska, 2022, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci Opis: Thanks to the advent of large-scale optical surveys, a diverse set of flares from the nuclear regions of galaxies has recently been discovered. These include the disruption of stars by supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies - nuclear transients known as tidal disruption events (TDEs). Active galactic nuclei (AGN) can show extreme changes in the brightness and emission line intensities, often referred to as changing-look AGN (CLAGN). Given the physical and observational similarities, the interpretation and distinction of nuclear transients as CLAGN or TDEs remains difficult. One of the obstacles of making progress in the field is the lack of well-sampled data of long-lived nuclear outbursts in AGN. I will present PS16dtm, a nuclear transient in a Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxy which has been proposed to be a TDE candidate. I will show our multi-year spectroscopic and photometric study of PS16dtm, which can help us to better understand the outbursts originating in NLSy1 galaxies.

14. Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array for probing cosmology and fundamental physics with gamma-ray propagationH. Abdalla, H. Abe, Fabio Acero, A. Acharyya, R. Adam, Christopher Eckner, Samo Stanič, Serguei Vorobiov, Gabrijela Zaharijas, Marko Zavrtanik, Danilo Zavrtanik, Miha Živec, 2021, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the new-generation ground-based observatory for γ astronomy, provides unique capabilities to address significant open questions in astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. We study some of the salient areas of γ cosmology that can be explored as part of the Key Science Projects of CTA, through simulated observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and of their relativistic jets. Observations of AGN with CTA will enable a measurement of γ absorption on the extragalactic background light with a statistical uncertainty below 15% up to a redshift z=2 and to constrain or detect γ halos up to intergalactic-magnetic-field strengths of at least 0.3 pG . Extragalactic observations with CTA also show promising potential to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. The best limits on Lorentz invariance violation from γ astronomy will be improved by a factor of at least two to three. CTA will also probe the parameter space in which axion-like particles could constitute a significant fraction, if not all, of dark matter. We conclude on the synergies between CTA and other upcoming facilities that will foster the growth of γ cosmology.

19. Arrival directions of the highest-energy cosmic rays detected with the Pierre Auger ObservatoryJulien Aublin, Andrej Filipčič, Gašper Kukec Mezek, Ahmed Saleh, Samo Stanič, Marta Trini, Darko Veberič, Serguei Vorobiov, Lili Yang, Danilo Zavrtanik, Marko Zavrtanik, 2015, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: We present the results of a search for small to intermediate
scale anisotropies in the distribution of arrival directions
of ultra-high energy cosmic rays recorded at the Pierre Auger
Observatory. The data set, gathered in ten years of operation,
includes arrival directions with zenith angles up to 80◦,
and is about three times larger than that used in earlier
studies. We update the test based on correlations with active
galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the Véron-Cetty and Véron catalog,
which does not yield a significant indication of anisotropy
with the present data set. We perform a blind search for
localized excess fluxes and for self-clustering of arrival
directions at angular scales up to 30◦ and for different
energy thresholds between 40 EeV and 80 EeV. We also examine
the correlation of arrival directions with relatively nearby galaxies in the 2MRS catalog, AGNs detected by Swift-BAT,
and a sample of radio galaxies with jets and with the
Centaurus A galaxy. None of the searches shows a statistically
significant evidence of anisotropy. The two largest
departures from isotropy that were found have a post-trial
probability ≈ 1.4%. One is for cosmic rays with energy above
58 EeV that arrive within 15◦ of the direction toward
Centaurus A. The other is for arrival directions within 18◦
of Swift-BAT AGNs closer than 130 Mpc and brighter than
10[sup]44 erg/s, with the same energy threshold. Ključne besede: ultra-high energy cosmic rays
